Big Blue Huddle / Re: Gano to have surgery

How does a multi billion dollar organization take unnecessary gambles like this? This should have been a concern a week ago. The backup kicker should have been on the practice squad. The medical team should have given an accurate report and we don't know if they did or didn't. Somebody should be fired over this.

As for Daboll, I can absolve him of the first kick but I can't of the second kick if he didn't speak with his ST Coach at halftime. And if he did and didn't get an accurate Accessment, then that Coach needs to go as he should have a month ago.

Quote from: MightyGiants on November 02, 2023, 01:28:39 PMI am learning I have a bit of color blindness for the pink and blue.  I struggle to differentiate the two. :o

I got a perfect score today.  I am starting to identify a tactic.  Previously, I would work on the first pattern I identified.  Now, if I don't feel fully comfortable with a given patter, I continue looking to see if there is one I feel better about.   Obviously, the more choices you can take off the board, the easier the remaining groupings become.
Go Big Pink!
That just doesn't sound right.

Quote from: DaveBrown74 on November 02, 2023, 12:19:11 PMSo we definitely think it's better to have a GM who seeks players' permission before trading them and allows them to be the final decision maker, even in the event that the GM thinks their decision is not in the best interests of the organization?

Don't get me wrong - as I said in the other thread, I think this feedback from Leo definitely reflects positively on the organization, but I do think there is another side to it that is worthy of at least pondering.
I interpreted it as he had multiple offers and he gave him a heads up. Leo knows he wasn't getting signed to an extension or a new contract. By allowing him to be involved it actually made his negotiating the best deal easier because Seattle can speak with his agents and work out something more long term instead of a one season rental. The Giants got a heck of a deal.

Yes, I saw that and it was definitely handled well.

Two separate issues here. An abusive unprofessional owner who lacks people skills and uses his power to satisfy his ego... and stupid business decisions creating division within the organization and a toxic work environment.

I have two personas. One that roots to win every game and one who only wants to win the day before if it validates DJ and proves there is no need to draft a QB. I would be fine with losing every game the rest of the year until Sunday.

Quote from: TDToomer on November 02, 2023, 09:54:18 AMI have a different angle. Get out of that comfy warm sky booth and get your ass onto the sidelines and work face to face with your QB and his players while they are off the field. Why isn't he on the sidelines?
I said that.

Quote from: T200 on November 02, 2023, 09:41:08 AMBeen saying he needs to be gone for over a month now.

I get the offensive line injuries and understand how the lack of chemistry up front will kill an offense. He has done very little to call plays to maximize the talents/skills of his players. There were minimal rollouts and plays to move the pocket for Jones. No screens to alleviate the quick pressure up the middle. Very few shots downfield to move the secondary out of the box.

Yeah. He needs to be fired. Maybe he wants to be back in KC now that Bienemy is gone.
Daboll should have hired Bienemy. Daboll can finish the season calling the plays and bring in a complimentary OC next year.

He played a supporting role in the Plax shooting incident that unraveled the SB bound 2008 team and he's going down!  :angryfire:

Actually I hope he gets the job permanently. He was a good player, student of the game and natural leader.

I wonder if he sits in a booth at the practice field.
